0. Gigabit to the Home - Intro: Paul Eberhart/ Credential / Newsreader habit - If you went to the Wednesday Keeping Current the other week Frank Roberts gave a talk about managing news habits, I have a pretty bad one which Dr. Griffioen is taking advantage of to get this started. 1. We Don't Exactly Mean Gigabit * "What if you had as much reliable bandwidth as you could possibly use?" - The phrase is in vogue - To your home, your phone, whatever. 2. Internet Connections * Lots of dark fiber (Unused back-haul capacity) * Incumbent Carriers (The specter of Ma. Bell) not helping much - They fear losing their carrier monopoly: - http://arstechnica.com/tech-policy/2013/10/love-gigabit-seattle-comcast-has-donated-lots-to-the-guy-now-trying-to-slow-it/ "Seattle Mayor Mike McGinn pushed for Gigabit Seattle, a partnership between Gigabit Squared and the University of Washington. Its goal has been to bring 1Gbps connections to the Emerald City, using fiber that was originally planned for a municipal network.

It's Coming * Map from http://highspeedgeek.com/america-gigabit-internet/ ? * Desire Exists (quote: http://www.afr.com/p/technology/google_fibre_optic_boss_unravels_RdzwEZdT2tT3WyVjWwZneJ ) "There’s huge consumer demand out there for fast internet and we believe that faster internet speeds will lead to what we refer to as the next chapter of the internet," * Mention Google Fiber, Municipal, Verizon FiOS w/ example locales. - Note technically FiOS: They max out at500/100 Mbit/s * Google Fiber in Kansas City, Provo, and Austin 4. We can do interesting things with it - Applications for geeks and non-geeks * Google Fiber's recent ToS change expressly allowing non-commercial servers ( http://arstechnica.com/information-technology/2013/10/google-fiber-now-explicitly-permits-home-servers/ ) * List of selected projects by name * Link to the ignite page 5. Own Cloud? - Bruce Schneier "Data Vassals" - Maybe note BeOS & etc. shipped with a personal HTTP server in the mid '90s thinking stable bidirectional broadband was coming sooner than it did? - Mention Plan9 and the general "Your computing is spread out across all your devices, the one you are in front of is just a terminal" philosophy. Rob Pike has some great wisdom ( http://rob.pike.usesthis.com/ )about this that exists in stark contradiction to my "Network resources are not local resources" mantra. 6. Education - Talked about MOOCs at last week's BoF, what if we could do it better? - We've probably all had a TED trance, make it immerseive and participatory - Describe the Show-and-tell sessions 7. Collaborative Manufacturing - Telepresence to scarce/expensive/high-overhead resources 8. One of the peering/decentralization Ignite topics. - ARPANet was conceived as decentralized and fault tolerant, now everything is in a datacenter somewhere where land and electricity are cheap. - Endurance International Group's (BlueHost, HostGator, HostMonster, JustHost) Provo outage (http://www.datacenterdynamics.com/focus/archive/2013/08/endurance-international-outage-traced-core-switches) - Share with your neighbors! Even if they are across the country. - What happens to "intellectual property?" 9. What about you? * The point here is to get you thinking about what you would do with it. Talk. - I want to be able to host my own services (Mail, Network storage, Website, etc.), "The Cloud" is just "On hardware you are renting from someone else."
